REM TO REUNITE (FOR A FEW MINUTES)
Posted by Stacy Chandler at September 5, 2006 9:50 PMDon't blink or you'll miss it. The full REM -- drummer Bill Berry included -- will play three songs in the ceremony for their induction into the Georgia (woooo!) Music Hall of Fame. Also potentially in the works, according to Billboard.com, is a recording for a not-yet-announced charity project. And then work will begin on a brand, spanking new album, presumably with REM back to a trio. But you never know.
I used to be the biggest REM fan around, but over the past five years or so, just haven't cared anymore.
I still loving singing "Driver 8" as a Bluegrass song with the Right Turn Clydes, though. ;-)
